Chase Wood is a large forest with many named smaller parts. It runs continuously across the toplands of Cranborne Chase for five miles from Tollard Royal to an 84-acre nature reserve at Garston Wood straddling the Wiltshire/Dorset border. The wood was acquired by the RSPB in 1985. It has 22 native species of trees and shrubs including large field maples and whitebeam. One of these on the nearby county boundary, which is coppiced and is 15 yards wide, coincides with a charter marker of 956 AD. Much ‘high forest’ is oak and ash, below which the hazel scrub has been cropped since Saxon times for hurdles and wattling.
